8 Creative Ways to Cook with Cauliflower

I’ve never been a trendspotter. I was the last of my friends in highschool to get a perm, was convinced texting would be a passing phase, and still haven’t downloaded a single song from itunes. Despite my poor track record on trends, listen up when I tell you this:
